OMG!! Thank you, thank you! I was actually just thinking how nice it would be for one of the high producers on this board to offer a class or help in some way instead of just making the rest of us feel worse. There are probably many MTs here who would like to be in that email group.
No, I'm not on that list, but I would love to be. I totally understand your apprehension about email on this board. It makes me extremely nervous, also.
Is there a site that I could go to and sign up, like the IT site, or is this something you do on your own?

Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....
I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet. Any infor or recommendations appreciated ...
Thanks!
I love the part where she says
several years ago I was working for ANOTHER outsourcing company.....
Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
i work for MDI less than part time and love it!
i've with them them for a year and a half. i also work part time for a big national and i'm consdering quitting the big national to work for MDI only. they are personable, don't treat you like a number. pay is always on time, (i have direct deposit). they are very flexible too. good luck in your decision!
because I love working part-time
and filling the remainder of my day with extra-curricular but I do not want to live extra-curricular
I work for them part-time and love them! sm
There is plenty of work, and the people are absolutely WONDERFUL. You are paid twice a month, and the pay is always on time, direct deposit in my account about 2 days after the invoice is submitted.
Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

I love the part where he says we have inadequate staffing in this country!
That makes me so mad - how many of us are sitting here waiting on work every day and he says we have inadequate staffing? That is BU!!$HIT!
I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm
the people are great. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure
nm
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
MT Group
I would never work for her again. Very moody, extremely picky. She double checks to make sure there are 2 spaces after every period, not 1 and not 3.
mt group
Does anyone have any info on the MT group? Thanks
MT Group
Too many accounting problems - slow pay, bounced checks, short checks.
MT Group
I have worked for them, and regardless of Melanie's posting, I did have bounced checks, late checks, short checks.
You have that right. Where this group of SM
princes and princesses came from, who knows. All these demands for certain hours, certain accounts---when you do give it to them the work is ATROCIOUS and they don't finish what they just demanded to have due to family, medical, pet emergency.
seems like one group is
describing their experience at a company and the defenders are attacking the individuals posting with characteric assassination. Let's be adults here.
ABJ Group? Does anyone
know if they went out of business? Cannot find them anywhere, and their website is not there either. I also have an email address, but it came back as undeliverable. Anyone have any current information about them? Thanks.
Yes, there was a group of 12 or more. nm

Another group
I have been involved in starting groups with a specific purpose in mind before. What happens every time is that a bunch of different personalities get together for a common cause, then they start fighting over different ideas on how things should be done, lose sight of the original purpose, and the next thing you know it is like being back in the sandbox in kindergarden and nothing gets accomplished and the whole thing fizzels.
You really should not group all MTs together. nm
Not all of us whine, connive, or are disloyal. Personally, I am a very loyal IC. I show up and work when I say I will, produce top quality documents, and am appreciated by my accounts.
Maybe you have just come across a few bad apples, but not all of us have poor work ethics and personal values.
You should think before you write something so generic as this.
TT group
Isn't there a chat group on Twitter or Facebook for Transtech MTs?? How do you join it??
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
do not lump us all into that group, please!
Some of us out there still do what we say we are going to do, produce excellent quality work, and have plenty of experience. I just cannot find an honest employer who pays well these days. Seems there are issues on both sides of the fence! I am not sure what the solution is. Ideas? :-)
WestTran group
anybody know anything about WestTran group LLC. the good,the bad,the ugly?! Thanks!
Growing with a new group of
They started a group of hospitals based in TN, and are adding them one at a time during the year. Lots of ER and acute care positions, we get emails noting the new accounts and added positions.
MT Group, any information would
x
Seriously? That's what The Group Formerly Known as AAMT SM
wants to do. We all take a test, send them lots of money and belong to their group. I'm sure it will be a lot of money. After all, it takes a lot to set up shop in Modesto, CA and, ohhh!, hope it wasn't in the line of those fires!
Truth is, most MT's cannot afford to join a union, if there were such a thing.
TT needs to get their own Yahoo Group or something
TransTech is such a good company so when the least thing goes wrong they immediately hop on here and announce it to the universe. It's called making adjustments, people.
If you can't handle it FIND ANOTHER JOB and stop taking over this board with the same old sad song every day.
Sorry about that, I truly didn't mean to put you all in 1 group. nm
nm
Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
You should not have quit that group
The only things not allowed are names of accounts and bashing other people.
TransTech group...sm
I think I saw a while back someone post something about a TT group? Could someone please email me this info?
Thanks
A group note was probably sent to
.
Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING

Yahoo group
A Yahoo group for Landmark MTs for support, discussion, and friendship has been created! Send me an email for the address to join.
currently only 1 group of MDI hospitals is VR

I work for a group of doctors ...
that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.
DSG=Dictation Services Group
nm
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
DSG (Dictation Services Group-GA)
Does anyone have any info as to why this company seems to be hiring a lot lately? Are they having a bit exodus of transcriptionists? Any info would be appreciated. I would consider working for DSG, but some recent posts and DSG's recent numerous ads make me leery. Thanks.
Dictation Services Group
Anyone know anything about this company...I saw they use DocQScribe according to the Job Seekers Board and they're looking for QA for all shifts. TIA!
Yes, DSG (Dictation Service Group) uses DQS.
nm
No, but they did hire a consulting group to take over the
management of the MTS, and things went downhill quickly from there. We started getting bombarded with e-mails daily regarding the backlog (even with little to nothing on the system), and then they became very demanding about working extra when the minutes started building. Primary and backup accounts were always caught up.
The only communication is through your account manager. Don't expect to hear back from anyone higher. You're just wasting your time.
One of the MDIs and/or Medware is probably in that group, too. nm

Dictation Services Group
Anyone currently working for this company care to comment on:
1. Workload
2. volume of ESL's
3. Are managers friendly and do they return emails?
4. Good benefits?
Dictation Services Group
good/bad? I put in a resume for QA at MQ months ago and have been called back about it but it's a bunch of hurry up and wait speech--i'm supposed to get a position there but i'm applying elsewhere jic. Saw the ad for Dictation Services Group QA position and thought I would apply...thoughts?

DSG, Dictation Services Group.
I have seen varying opinions on DSG on this board in recent months and how some think that the company has gone down hill over the last year or so. I am curious as to whether others think that it is the whole company that is having the problems or if it is a case of the old DSG and DSG2 being run differently. I am with DSG2. I will say, like others that pay is always on time, although it is sad that that is a sign of a good company. I like the DocQScribe platform ok, although there are a lot of features that could be better, starting with the spell checker. I feel that there is a huge lack of good feedback, especially for newbies. Supervisors are extremely hard to get a hold of, especially at night, and even during the day emails go unanswered at least 3/4 of the time, but they don't want us to IM them. The few times I have gotten an IM answer to an email, it was short and factual to the point of being rude. I am not looking to chat, but a little common courtesy goes a long ways. And don't even get me started on the messages that come with the updates, that sound totally fake and desperate. Anyway, I was just wondering if this was a personal preference sort of thing or if it was that certain parts of the company are better than others.
New option for group members
Group members now have the option of hiding their email address and IP address. This eliminates some features of the group but is for everyone's protection.
